If this all goes down as quickly as it can, wouldn't that be great if the Yankees acquired him and turned right around announced him as tonight's starting pitcher?
Pretty sure I have read something like this has happened before in MLB where a guy basically switches dugouts before the game. Just not sure about a pitching situation like this one.
It is his turn tonight and you may as well start getting your money'w worth.

For sure but that wouldn't take long.
Almost wonder if both teams may try and come to some agreement with not letting him start till after this series is complete.
Who knows though?
Do you understand that when you specify action it doesn't mean you lock in the -108 price, it means you will be given action at the new opening line?
That's not how action works. BetJM's rules section doesn't explain it, but here's the rule from 5Dimes...
Action: All moneyline wagers have action. However, if there is a pitching change, the moneyline price will be computed with revised odds based on the new pitchers.
Didnt this happen last year or 2 years with doug davis going to the dodgers from the diamondbacks and him against them the next night! I mightbe wrong on this though
right u are i knew i was missing something
So can you list any books that pay the way you think it should be?? I agree that bets didn't change when you played action before, but I think they mostly all do now.
Can you post where you found this info, or can anyone post it? I haven't found it yet.
Bookmaker/CRIS - "Action" bets will be computed by the opening price with the new pitcher. A pitcher is deemed a starting pitcher after throwing one pitch.
To be honest this is an eye opener for me, I haven't made an action bet in several years. I'll be interested to see how they adjust the price.
Your risk amount will stay the same, but your win amount will go way down. At least thats how i've always seen it done.
The industry term for action is the bet stays at the time of the bet even w/ a pitching change.
That's why they have action and listed pitchers.
Betjam does not do it right for the customer.
Sorry but that is incorrect. The term action allows you to still have a wager at the revised price.
Kashmir is correct... and his answer matches the rules I've posted in this thread from 5Dimes, Greek, and CRIS.
"Action" is really meant for the recreational bettor who wants to "have action" on his home team or the game he's gonna see that night and doesn't give a crap who pitches or what the price will be. I'm certainly no baseball expert, but I don't think any serious bettor specifies "action" b/c you're basically accepting a bet without even knowing the line in the event of a pitching change.
